Why can Chinese civilization last for 5000 years without interruption? Come to the "National Study" and explore the country | version | study

The National Version Library of China is mainly responsible for coordinating national version resource planning, census collection, collection display, research exchange, and promotion. It is the national version resource total library and the seed gene library of Chinese culture. Its layout is "one overall and three separate" - the "Wenhan Pavilion" of the Central Headquarters, the "Wenji Pavilion" of the Xi'an Branch, the "Wenrun Pavilion" of the Hangzhou Branch, and the "Wenqin Pavilion" of the Guangzhou Branch. Let's learn about the "Wenhan Pavilion" of the Central Museum and its precious exhibitions together ↓

The Wenhan Pavilion, the central headquarters of the National Version Museum of China, is located at the foot of Yanshan Mountain in Changping District, Beijing. From south to north, the main buildings of Wenxing Tower, Wenhua Hall, and Wenhan Pavilion are arranged in sequence, with "halls, corridors, and halls" on the east and west sides accompanied by buildings. The surrounding landscape and gardens complement each other. Version is the carrier and medium for inheriting excellent traditional Chinese culture, and it is a symbol and witness of the long and prosperous history of Chinese civilization. The editions collected by the National Version Museum of China, in addition to modern publications, also include various classic materials reflecting the imprint of Chinese civilization, such as ancient Chinese books, revolutionary literature, Republic of China literature, religious literature, woodblock rubbings, manuscript archives, local chronicles and family genealogies. At present, the Central Library of the National Version Museum of China has collected a total of over 16 million versions.

"National Study": National Version Exhibition Hall

The Wenhua Hall, one of the main buildings of the Central Headquarters of the National Version Museum of China, is a two-story, 13 meter high national study with a central bay. Enter this national level version exhibition hall ↓

The National Study is a national level exhibition hall and a ceremonial space for cultural activities, covering an area of 1350 square meters. The eaves style design around the top draws inspiration from the traditional architectural form of "Four Waters Returning to the Hall", reflecting the profound artistic conception of embracing all rivers and the unity of the four seas.

15 sets of bookshelves are set up around the National Study, creating a Chinese style book collection space, displaying nearly 30000 volumes of high-quality publications from the New China era. The central position in front displays key books such as Marxist Leninist classics and innovative theoretical works of the Party;

On the left and right sides, local libraries and ancient book compilation publications of various provinces, regions, and cities are displayed.

The starry sky dome inside the central caisson at the top of the hall features a Song Dynasty stone carved astronomical map.

Commentator Wang Zhiyin from the National Version Museum of China: This star map was drawn based on an observation during the Yuanfeng period of the Northern Song Dynasty. It consists of three walls and twenty-eight constellations, recording 1434 stars and 280 constellations. It was not until more than 300 years later that European countries discovered 1022 stars, so this star map was very advanced at that time. It is composed of three concentric circles, with the small circle representing the Arctic Circle, the middle circle representing the equator, and the large circle representing the visible boundaries of the southern sky. This astronomical map reflects the ancient scientific and technological achievements of China, and also conveys the meaning of the Central Headquarters of the National Version Museum of China. Chinese civilization is as vast and brilliant as the starry sky.

The Exhibition of "Writing in this Place": The Chinese Culture is Here

The phrase "Si Wen Zai Zi" comes from the Analects, meaning "cultural knowledge is in one's own hands.". On the second floor of the "Wenhua Hall" in the central main hall of the National Version Museum of China, a special "Exhibition of Ancient Chinese Civilization" is set up, named after "refined and refined", which can be extended to "the Chinese context is here". From one pottery and one tile, to over 400 precious versions of manuscripts and ancient books, it demonstrates the continuous evolution of ancient Chinese civilization.

The second floor of Wenhua Hall is currently exhibiting a version of ancient Chinese civilization called "Civilized in Zizi". Entering the exhibition hall, you will see the late Shang Dynasty bronze vessel "Fangding". On the inscription on its inner wall, the character "version" appeared for the first time. The exhibition here combines documentary records and cultural relics to verify China's million year human history, 10000 year cultural history, and over 5000 years of civilization history. More than 400 versions of treasures, through 13 units, respectively narrate various aspects of the social life of the Chinese nation in the version, presenting the historical origins and development of Chinese civilization in a three-dimensional manner.

The first unit of the exhibition, "The Beginning of Civilization - The Origin of Chinese Civilization in the Version," tells us that as early as over 1000 years ago, writing had not yet emerged, but the oldest imprint and symbol of Chinese civilization had been discovered on the earliest surviving painted pottery in China.

The unit of "Politics for the benefit of the people" showcases the highly developed political civilization of ancient China, where the concept of combining propriety and law, governing with morality and supporting punishment emerged and took shape, ultimately becoming an effective strategy for governing the country. The unit of "Economy - Benefiting the World and the People" records the economic system and achievements of ancient China.

The six units of literature, history, philosophy, art, technology, and education in the exhibition showcase the brilliant intellectual and cultural heritage created by the Chinese nation. The imperial examination was a system of selecting officials through examinations in ancient China, which had a profound impact on both ancient China and the Western world. There is the earliest existing top scorer test paper in "Education - Transforming into a World Unit". In 1598, at the age of 25, Zhao Bingzhong, a native of Shandong, wrote 2460 words in an exam without any smudges or modifications, flowing smoothly and smoothly. The handwriting on the test paper is elegant and elegant, with a brilliant literary style. At the beginning of the paper, there is also the handwritten "First Class, First Place" by Emperor Wanli.

In the "Geography - Homestead in China" section, versions of literature such as maps and travelogues depict the Kyushu region, the thousands of miles of territory, and the relationship between China and the world in the eyes of ancient people from a multidimensional perspective.

Why has the Chinese civilization, as the only ancient civilization in the world that has continued to this day for 5000 years without interruption? Wen is here - the Chinese context is here. In this exhibition, perhaps we can find the answer.
